During the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Ganryu lost his way and accidentally stumbled
into the research laboratory of the Mishima Financial Group, and in the laboratory he found the disc
containing data for the Reforestation Program. Believing he finally had what was needed in order for
Julia to accept his proposal of marriage, he presented the disc. But it was only the disc that she accepted.
Afterwards, Ganryu returned to Hawaii and established a restaurant specializing in Sumo cuisine called
Chanko Paradise; however, his restaurant didn’t take off as he had hoped. Around that time, it was announced
that the King of the Iron Fist Tournament would be held once again, seeing this as an opportunity to promote
Chanko Paradise.
Ganryu, decided to participate in the tournament to do just that.
